Kobilarna Lipica se je z veseljem odzvala povabilu fotografinje Alenke SLAVINEC (www.alenkaslavinec.com) k sodelovanju v projektu fotografske prezentacije lipicanca »SLOVENIA IN US, Lipizzaner horses by Alenka SLAVINEC«, s katerim je želela avtorica v jubilejnem 20. letu samostojnosti Slovenije skozi motiv lipicanca, slovenskega nacionalnega simbola, predstaviti 20 let zgodovine sodobne slovenske države. Fotografije, ki so v Lipici nastale v okviru projekta, si je bilo moč ogledati tudi v galeriji slovenske ambasade v Washingtonu D.C., razstavo pa je 8. februarja 2011 odprl predsednik vlade Borut Pahor. Ob Dnevu državnosti je razstava gostovala v Galeriji MC v New Yorku, nato pa se je predstavila tudi na Festivalu Ljubljana 2011. Razstava še naprej sledi svojemu poslanstvu in gostuje tudi drugod po svetu in Sloveniji. Kobilarna Lipica je izjemen spomenik, zaščiten z zakonom in razglašen za kulturni spomenik državnega pomena za Republiko Slovenijo. Je edinstven ambient, ki s podobo kulturne krajine in podobo lipicanca, v kateri odseva več kot 4-stoletna zgodovina ene najstarejših kulturnih pasem konj na svetu, izziva neizmeren narodni ponos, da smo tu, na slovenski zemlji, iz slovenskih genov ustvarili nekaj najlepšega na svetu.

Zato je Kobilarna Lipica fotografinji Alenki SLAVINEC z vsem zaupanjem v to, da bo znala v lipicancu odkriti tisto najlepše, kar odraža naša zgodovina, omogočila, da lipicanca v fotografski objektiv ujame v njegovem najbolj pristnem okolju, v njegovih najbolj intimnih in najbolj prvinskih trenutkih. Ne čudi torej, da so odzivi na fotografije, ki izžarevajo tenkočutno doživljanje lipiške narave in narave konja, tega plemenitega bitja, tako pozitivni. Še posebej veseli smo, da lahko slovenskega belega lipicanca skozi fotografsko razstavo in image coledar, ki je nastal po motivih razstave, občudujejo ne le v Sloveniji, temveč lahko skozi njegove podobe pot slovenske države od osamosvojitve do danes spoznavajo tudi drugod po svetu.

The Lipica Stud Farm gladly accepted an invitation of photographer Alenka SLAVINEC (www.alenkaslavinec.com) to take part in the project of a photo presentation of Lipizzaner horses “SLOVENIA IN US, Lipizzaner horses by Alenka SLAVINEC”. The author wanted to present 20 years of history of contemporary Slovenia on the 20th anniversary of independence of Slovenia through the motif of Lipizzaner horses, Slovene national symbol. Photos made in Lipica in the framework of the project were displayed in the gallery of the Slovene Embassy in Washington D.C. The exhibition was opened on 8 February 2011 by the Prime Minister Borut Pahor. On Statehood Day it was displayed in the Gallery MC in New York and later at the Ljubljana Festival 2011. The exhibition keeps following its mission and is displayed in Slovenia and abroad. The Lipica Stud Farm is an outstanding monument protected by law and declared a cultural monument of outstanding importance for the Republic of Slovenia. It presents a unique atmosphere which with the image of cultural landscape and Lipizzaner horses reflecting over four hundred years of history of one of the world’s oldest cultural horse breeds is of an outstanding national pride that one of the world’s most beautiful things was created here in Slovenia from Slovene genes.

Therefore the Lipica Stud Farm has put all its trust in photographer Alenka SLAVINEC that she will know how to discover the best in Lipizzaner horses that is reflected in our history and thus enabled her to capture Lipizzaner horses with her lens in their most genuine environment and their most intimate and primal moments. It therefore comes as no surprise that reactions to photos reflecting subtle experience of the nature of Lipica and Lipizzaner horses, these noble creatures, are so positive. We are especially pleased that because of this photo exhibition and image calendar created according to the motifs of the exhibition Slovene white Lipizzaner horses can be admired in Slovenia as well as abroad and their image presents the path of Slovenia from independence to the present date to people all over the world.
